Due to unexpected events, I had to dismantle the forest area but it shouldn't be too much of a problem since there's nothing going on there at this time. The scenery is still recoverable so it may or may not be back at some point.

I also decided to split post between the action on the planet and the space battle. This should allow me to cope with the latest events and still be able to continue this.

That being said, back in the cave..

“Oh man, I haven't had beetle juice in years!”

Vera's suitor dabs his finger in the beetle's blood and starts to eat some.

"Honey, you have to try this, it's delicious."He offers some to Vera but she ignore him and moves to kill the closest beetle.

The beetle survives and counterattack!

The Post-Apoc Survivor and the Space Detective combine fire to help Vera but they roll poor damage once again.

Trying to protect Flash, Garth throws his axe at the Beetle but it survives the hit.

Flash enchant his beamsaber.

"Haha! No mere space-roach is a match for Captain Flash Maxwell and his trusty crew, makeshift though they may be!" (+6xp! Flash gains a level!)

Flash then remarks on the situation:"With all this flawless leadership, dazzling field commanding, and not to mention my trademark knockout looks, after this mission is over, I am SO getting my 27th cover on Intergalactic Magazine!"

At the other end of the room, a group of Beasts is protecting some items they gathered from their snacks: A small shield, a couple of armor pieces and a long range weapon.

Grab Vera's suitor and carry him forward as a shield, "Here, I'm bring you a gift of food, may we share together in good friendship", he prepares his crossbow to fire just incase things don't go well."Flash cover me old boy, we have some killing to do," he whispers

Okay, so is the city still around? or is the whole area destroyed? If the city was destroyed it could simply be stated that the plant blew up and destroyed everything. If it was just the forest, it could be stated that the fire spread and much to smokey the bear's chagrin, the entire place was burned down. (assuming a wasteland would be easier to build than rebuilding everything as it was)

Before I post orders, wanted to ask everybody this:

Mgb, if you are using one of your grenades, everyone with supernatural powers should enhance the damage- not the radius, we don't want to be caught in the blast, but enhancing the damage could take out most of them in one shot.

Anyway, I think we should just toss the grenade (I would say to try and center it on that huge wolf guy in the center), have Carlos, Jaras, and Flash enhance damage, duck back round the corner, and hold our position (melee attackers off-sides covered by the ranged attackers, ranged attackers center and behind and covered by the melee attackers) as it is for any survivors, that way we can easily pick off the enraged, charging beasts. (another reason to hang back, as those minotaurs have deadly horn charges)

What do you guys think?

SCS Avoidance (Lord Mercat)Gimbles: "Alright Biff, TIME TO GET FANCY! FINISH THE TURN, REVERSE THE SHIP, TARGETING COMPUTERS DIRECT ALL FIRE TO LEFTMOST PILOT- LETS BLOW THESE PIRATES TO A DIFFERENT DIMENSION!"

Gimbles: "Damn, all this action's making me hungry. Hey Biff did we eject all the donuts?"Biff: "All but the Captains private stash"Gimbles: "Hmmm better not take those.... Although, on second thought, this IS an emergency"

Gimbles and Biff leave the bridge and proceed to eat Captain Maxwell's private donut stash while continuing to wait for clearance from Noxarian Security.

Pierro Mimsey the Sad Clown (???)Having doubts as to who should be controlling him, the Sad Clown decides to simply sit on the wing of the Chimera and cry.. for now...

"BOU'HOUHOUHOUHOUHOU!!!!"

Noxarian Security (Battlegrinder)The Interceptor turns around and comes back for the Escort.

A shot from the lasers deals two points of component damage to the starboard engine.The effective size of the engine is down to 1 and the Escort suffers a -2” penalty to movement.

The Interceptor change its course again and complete its movement right behind the Chimera.

Sentinel-144 advances 12 inches.

Still out of range..

Space Pirates (Scribonius)Having come to a full stop, the Chimera launches another round of torpedoes and fire its lasers at the Avoidance.

Response fire from the Pulse weaponry was unable to hit the incoming torpedoes.The SCS Avoidance suffers four points of structural damage! (12/16 left)

The Escort turns itself around and target the Interceptor again.

"Yar, bloody planetary forces! Bugger off, ya scallywags! This be our booty, and we'll fight ye to keep it if we must!"No damage...

ESF Reinforcements (NPC)The Drop Pods advance 25 more inches.The first one is getting close to Noxarian space..

“Noxarian Control to Spacecraft Procuration: You are clear to enter Noxarian Space. Enjoy your stay!”

The spacecraft heads for the planet.

OVERVIEW

WAITING FOR MORE ORDERS!

The city and the beach are still there it's the mountains and the forest that were partially taken apart. They're salvageable so I can rebuild them but I might move the action directly to the city (and the beach) instead.

Okay then, orders for Flash: Have Flash use some (not all) of his supernatural power to enhance the damage of Carlos' grenade. Save the rest of it for supernatural counter, block, bail whatever best fits the situation just be ready to get the hell out of dodge if the grenade goes south, or the beasts charge, or whatever other possible manner of mayhem may occur. Other than enhancing the grenade, hold position and follow the general plan/formation we've been using in the general area (movement wise, he shouldn't really go much of anywhere closer to the beasts) where he is now, close to the others, but not so much up front as to make himself a primary target.

"Haha, excellent work thus far, crewman, I can see that I've taught you well! Not all that surprising actually, I am the greatest instructor one could possibly hope for." Flash continues: "Now, lets see then, lets add a bit of my patented panache to this grenade here" (when he is adding supernatural damage to the grenade)

"Now, time to do what comes naturally, hold fast and stand pretty! Whatever's left of those beasts won't get past a crew commanded by a legend of my caliber!"
